Himno nativo

[Verse 1] In times of war and pain The Cherokees defended their honor Against the wind and the invader Their cries of clamor resonated [Verse 2] In the land where the sun shines brightest They rose with bravery, nothing less In their actions, there was valor Covered in spirit and love [Chorus] Oh their traditions Strength in their hearts The spirits guide them Their steps never falter [Verse 3] Their songs flew to the sky The ancestors provided comfort Under the moon and the walnut tree Ancestral faith was restored [Bridge] Mother Earth gave them strength The eagle, their immense freedom The wolf taught them to fight With the river, they learned to dream [Verse 4] The settlers wanted to subdue them But their spirit couldn't be broken With bows and arrows, they rose They never doubted their roots
